Simple mesothelial pericardial cyst in a rare location
Pericardial cysts are rare and generally benign intrathoracic lesions, most frequently located in the cardiophrenic angles, but other locations have been described. We present a case of a pericardial cyst in a previously undescribed site. Our patient presented with a cyst in the interventricular sep...

| description | Pericardial cysts are rare and generally benign intrathoracic lesions, most frequently located in the cardiophrenic angles, but other locations have been described. We present a case of a pericardial cyst in a previously undescribed site. Our patient presented with a cyst in the interventricular septum which was discovered as an incidental finding. After surgical excision of the cyst, it was described pathologically as a simple mesothelial pericardial cyst. The explanation of this rare condition is uncertain, but some hypotheses can be outlined. Resumo: Os cistos pericárdicos são lesões intratorácicas raras e geralmente benignas, mais frequentemente localizadas nos ângulos cardiofrénicos, no entanto, outras localizações têm sido descritas. Apresentamos o caso de um cisto pericárdico num local não descrito previamente. O nosso doente apresentou-se com um cisto no septo interventricular que foi detetado como achado incidental. Após a excisão cirúrgica do cisto, este foi descrito anatomopatologicamente como um cisto pericárdico mesotelial simples. A explicação para esta localização incomum é incerta, mas algumas hipóteses podem ser delineadas.
